What it does
Release is an agent skill from TimSoethout/goodwe-sems-home-assistant. Use when preparing HACS releases, versions, tags, or release notes.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72c06c7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ruff
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Release loads about 411 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

HACS Release
- Version: Update
custom_components/sems/manifest.json. Base the next stable version on the latest stable release: patch for fixes, minor for features, major for breaking changes. Use numbered prereleases (for example,11.12.0-beta.1) for the intended stable version; breaking beta changes target the next major. Never reuse a published tag. - Release notes: Update RELEASE_NOTES.md with all user-visible changes since the previous stable tag, including every beta. Keep notes concise; preserve existing links, add verified links when available, and never invent them. Include limitations and compatibility notes.
- Contributors: Credit code authors and people who contributed information, testing, or troubleshooting. Verify GitHub handles; do not infer them from email addresses.
- Publish: Tag with the manifest version and publish a GitHub Release. Mark betas as prereleases; stable releases are regular releases. Copy the release notes into the release description. Publishing triggers
.github/workflows/release.ymlto upload the ZIP; a tag alone is insufficient.
For a stable release after betas, use the same version number and preserve the full beta history in its notes. HACS users must opt into prereleases to receive betas.
Before finishing
- Run the narrowest relevant tests; if code changed, run
ruff checkandruff format --checkon the touched area. - Confirm manifest/tag versions match, prerelease status is correct, and the ZIP uploaded.
